Description

RCELL TEMP

0o C

70o C

Reaction Cell temperature is set to 50o C. At the

 

 

 

setpoint, a typical reading is 3600 mV.

 

 

 

 

BLOCK TEMP

0o C

70o C

The Block temperature is set to 50o C. At the

 

 

 

setpoint, a typical reading is 3600 mV.

 

 

 

 

IZS TEMP

0o C

70o C

The IZS temperature is set to 50o C. At the

 

 

 

setpoint, a typical reading is 3600 mV.

 

 

 

 

CONV TEMP

0o C

1000o C

The Converter temperature is 315o C. At the

 

 

 

setpoint, a typical voltage is 3150 mV.

 

 

 

 

PMT TEMP

0o C

70o C

The PMT temperature is unique in that the

 

 

 

voltage is inverse to the temperature. A typical

 

 

 

reading for 8o C would be 4200 mV.

CHASSIS

0o C

70o C

The Chassis (Box) temperature is variable due to

TEMP

 

 

variable ambient air temperature. The Box temp

 

 

 

generally runs about 5o C above the surrounding

 

 

 

air temp. Thus in a 25o C room, the Box temp

 

 

 

would be about 30o C and have a TEST channel

 

 

 

voltage of about 2000 mV.

 

 

 

 

DCPS

0 mV

5000 mV

The DCPS is a composite of several DC power

VOLTAGE

 

 

supply voltages in the instrument. It has been

 

 

 

arbitrarily set at 2500 mV, which is typical.

 

 

 

 

HVPS

0 V

5000 V

The HVPS voltage is a scaled up reading of the

VOLTAGE

 

 

programming voltage going to the HVPS. Zero

 

 

 

to 1000 mV corresponds 0-1000 VDC for the

 

 

 

HVPS, which is the maximum voltage possible.

 

 

 

A typical reading would be 700 mV

 

 

 

corresponding to 700 VDC for the HVPS.

 

 

 

 

*Minimum and Maximum readings depend on the DAC 3 switch settings of the V/F board. For the standard ± 5 VDC range, minimum corresponds to 0 VDC and maximum corresponds to

5 VDC.
